EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical and lively print, we are transported back to the Victorian era where blood sports like fox hunting were a popular pastime. The scene captures a moment of sheer chaos as Huntsman Facey Romford attempts to jump over a fence on his worn-out horse, much to the dismay of the pack of hounds. With impeccable detail and vibrant colors, artist John Leech brings this humorous illustration to life. We witness Romford's faux pas as he interferes with the dignified hunt led by Jonathan Lotherington. The expression on Lotherington's face reveals his annoyance at Romford's lack of etiquette and manners during such an esteemed event. The handcolored steel engraving showcases Leech's talent for caricature and humor, making it clear why he was renowned for his work in Punch magazine. Through this artwork, we can almost hear the barks of the hounds and feel the excitement in the air as Romford disrupts what should have been a seamless hunt. This print serves as both entertainment and historical documentation, offering us a glimpse into an era when fox hunting was not only considered sport but also an opportunity for social interaction among high society. It reminds us that even in sophisticated settings, there is always room for mishaps and laughter.
